You must understand the reason.

LET GRAIN FROM THE BUNDLES FALL PURPOSELY FOR HER.” RUTH 2:16 NKJV

Can you imagine how Ruth felt? She was bereaved by loss, penniless, worried about the future, coming out of famine, then suddenly having more than she needed dropped into her lap. She didn’t deserve it, didn’t earn it, and couldn’t even understand it. That’s how God works.

But a word of caution: When you’re not used to being blessed it can go to your head! The Bible says: “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to [succeed in life]” (Dt 8:18 AMP). God is the One Who enables you to do what others find difficult or impossible; in some cases they are taking classes to do what you do naturally. That’s because God has blessed you with ability. “Why would He do that?” you ask. Because there’s a direct correlation between your blessings and your life’s purpose. God doesn’t bless you so you can hoard, or strut. Whether His blessings come in the form of increased finances, improved health or greater influence, God’s gifts are just tools to reposition you so that you can do His will. The enemy isn’t just after your provision, he’s after your purpose! What good is success if you are not in the will of God?

When God gives you something, He wants you to use it for His glory. So when God gives you His blessings, be sure to read the instructions that go with them – only then will you please Him and find fulfillment! And one more thing, always remember that God is the source of everything you have – and ever will have!
